I Became the Golden Sun That Steals the Academy’s Aircraft

74. Master and Disciple

Brianna quietly looked at her disciple who was eating food across from her.

It was a cultured dining etiquette with an aristocratic demeanor ingrained in it.

Who could look at him like this and say he’s a fool?

It could be said that his actions were the most unconventional since the establishment of Demeia Academy.

Starting with winning the entrance mock competition, he prevented the Resistance’s terrorism without any damage in the comprehensive evaluation, and made a remarkable contribution by taking the lead more than anyone else in the battle to subdue the old Resistance.

Moreover, not long ago, he stopped the New Resistance, which had launched a massive air attack on the Academy, with minimal damage. Considering that at that time the number of giant gods he had to face at once was 23, it was doubtful whether this was truly an achievement that a new cadet could accomplish.

Since his former student’s performance was so dazzling, Brianna, his previous teacher, was not very pleased with the current situation. Although she was blunt, she was not without feelings. One of the only two former students in the world was making a name for himself in the empire, and I couldn’t help but be happy.

Moreover, the swordsmanship he showed while controlling the Giant God Soldier showed that he had developed once again through that battle. There was no need to express in words how explosive the growth was, as it had reached the limit.

But I was concerned that Gilbert had stepped into marginal territory.

Limited area literally means that you can exert power beyond what you have achieved currently. He can feel exponentially stronger every time he crosses a wall in front of him, but getting over a wall is never easy.

Those who were born with outstanding talent and overcome walls more easily than others, face those walls faster than others. The moment I stood in front of that wall that I couldn’t overcome even if it took all my life, most people couldn’t help but fall into a sense of despair and helplessness.

And at that time, I fell into the realm of limitations. The pleasure of momentarily crossing a wall and experiencing a bigger world is not easily forgotten and eats away at people like a drug.

However, the limit area literally means crossing the limit and stepping inside the wall. If you use power outside of your realm with a body that is not yet ready, your body will inevitably be damaged.

Because it was a matter of forcibly breaking a limit that had been drawn and not to be crossed, there were quite a few cases where one became a person in trouble or, if unlucky, lost one’s life.

Brianna had seen so many people like that that she couldn’t hide her anxiety, even though she knew Gilbert wouldn’t do it.

Even so, you can’t help but believe it.

As I ate the food in front of me, I shook off my anxious feelings.

What should a teacher do if he does not trust his disciple?

Gilbert has never disappointed Brianna’s expectations. He was never lazy in practicing his sword, and he firmly maintained the virtues he had to uphold as her knight even as her life was in danger.

It was not the duty of a teacher to not trust such a beautiful student.

Brianna shook off all of her worries and focused on her food with a lighter heart.

As she continued her meal while chatting about a few small things, her eyes suddenly caught the black iron sword leaning on one corner of her chair.

The black iron sword that Gilbert received as a gift was a sword so good that it could be called a famous sword.

The weight, hardness, and balance of the sword impressed even Brianna, who had handled her sword quite a bit. She was surprised that the name of a swordsman of his caliber was not yet known.

But how did Gilbert know about this swordsman?

It was a question that suddenly occurred to me.

It was an old building that could only be found after walking through a narrow alley for a while, with a sign with a sword on it.

I couldn’t figure out how he knew about this place, which was difficult to find. A few times, he would naturally go to this place as if he had come here, which made me a little suspicious, but even thinking about it now, there was something strange about it.

Could it be…?

As she continued her thoughts here and there, Brianna was able to realize one thing.

“Gilbert”

“What’s going on?”

After eating all of her food, Gilbert, who was drinking wine, looked at Brianna.

“How did the swordsman know?”

“I found out by chance.”

“By chance… I happened to meet a talented swordsman, and that swordsman happened to be a pretty woman, right?”

This was the identity of the unknown discomfort that Brianna felt at her weapon shop.

The woman who was the owner and swordsman of the weapons shop called Ensis was a woman of such beauty that it was difficult to find her right away. Her solid body without any flab and bright scarlet hair matched with her bright smile gave her a fresh look.

I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at Gilbert, who was rumored to not have a good relationship with women. It seemed like he was probably someone he found back when he was called a bastard.

Brianna frowned slightly as her thoughts reached that point.

Since Gilbert entered Demeia Academy, he had never seen him do anything vulgar, but he had never known anything about relationships with women. Since she wasn’t watching Gilbert’s every move, she might still be having a promiscuous relationship.

Of course, considering the speed of his development, he would not be addicted to it, but as a teacher, he could not stand by and watch his student go astray. Isn’t a true teacher someone who guides a disciple to follow the right path?

“Master?”

“I have no intention of interfering with his private life. However, I cannot stand by and see him neglect his training because he is obsessed with women.”

“What are you saying all of a sudden?”

This time, Gilbert’s eyebrows gathered in the middle. He thought he had a good dinner, but Brianna suddenly said something he didn’t understand.

A woman in your private life?

It was an unfair statement to Gilbert, whose daily routine was filled with academy classes and training.

His purpose was not to live here, but to return to the original world. Gilbert returns to the place where he and his comrades shed blood. . No, Kang Do-jun was hoping for it more earnestly than anything else.

He didn’t find a clue to go back, but when he analyzed the world of Tactical Combat and the situation of receiving system backup, it came down to one thing he had to do. If he progressed through the main story, which was presented sequentially like a game, he might find a clue to return.

That’s why he prioritized his growth in preparation for the main story. If you look at the tightly structured routine, it is a daily routine of training.

In the midst of all this, when he heard people telling him not to indulge in pleasure, he couldn’t help but feel resentful.

“That won’t happen.”

She spoke firmly, but Brianna did not believe her. She seemed to have shown a lot in that regard, and she had an example, Gwendolyn of Ensis Weapon Shop, so she couldn’t be easily trusted.

“Anyway, keep this in mind.”

“Don’t you, Master, know best that I won’t do that?”

“Hmm…”

Brianna swallowed her silence. She definitely knew in her head. The way I saw Gilbert until recently was similar to a person who was crazy about training.

But emotionally, there were a few things that bothered me. Although he didn’t look like her, it was clear why she was doing this.

Gilbert was the man who would one day rise to where she stands and pursue her sword path together. Brianna did not want to lose her companion who would walk the path of the infinite sword with her.

This kind of appearance may cause resentment.

I took a deep breath and shook off as many uncomfortable feelings as I could. As Gilbert said, he was currently practicing steadily, so there was no need to beat him more than necessary.

“It was a slip of the tongue out of anger. You can forget it.”

“No. I think you were telling me to do well.”

“That’s enough.”

Brianna felt much lighter as she watched the dessert being prepared after the main dish.

If Gilbert has a great desire for the sword, he will stand next to her without any deviation. So until then, all she had to do was show and guide her path.

Brianna thought, let’s just pass it over and not press the question.

Meanwhile, Gilbert, who does not know Brianna’s thoughts…

[Sub-scenario Sword Seeker has been unlocked and forced to be accepted.]

What is this again?

She was feeling bewildered by the sub-scenario she had never seen before that suddenly occurred to her.

***

Gilbert, who returned to Demeia Academy after spending a short day with Brianna, was troubled by a sub-scenario he had never seen before. He played Tactical Combat, cleared all scenarios, and achieved 100% achievement. This was a scenario he had never seen before.

Judging by the word ‘unlock’ in it, it seems that saving Brianna during the Academy attack and some condition he doesn’t know were the triggers, but I couldn’t guess what it was.

Furthermore, the explanation in the scenario window was so poor that I couldn’t even figure out exactly what to do. Looking at the name Seeker of the Sword, it is clear that it is related to swords, but there was too little information.

I came up with several hypotheses and compared them, but it ended with a question mark.

It’s not easy.

Gilbert, who eventually gave up on analysis, sighed and leaned against the back of his chair. He thought about something for so long that he couldn’t come up with an answer, and it felt like his head was going to cramp up.

Although it was good that Brianna was saved, she was very reluctant to be forced to accept a sub-scenario she had never seen before. Usually, in cases where acceptance is forced in this way, the level of difficulty increases sharply as the reward for the scenario is good.

Furthermore, the name Seeker of the Sword was too grandiose for a sub-scenario. Just by looking at the name of the sub-scenario, you could immediately tell that it was not small in scale.

It doesn’t matter.

Gilbert got up from his seat, relaxed his stiff body, and opened the door. Although he had wasted quite a bit of time analyzing the variables that had suddenly arisen, he had no intention of skipping today’s Qi training.

Gilbert, who knew better than anyone else that sincerity and effort would never betray on the battlefield, was most wary of laziness taking over.

The appearance of the sub-scenario was unexpected, but that was not a reason for not being able to train. It wouldn’t have been a problem if he missed a day, but as each day piled up, it would eventually become 10 days and then 100 days.

In the end, Gilbert headed to the training room, thinking about today’s training schedule. When he checked his muscle development, he felt like he needed to slightly increase the intensity of his lower body training.

-Squeak

The moment Gilbert was about to open the door to the training room, the door to the training room opened. Even though it was late, was there still a cadet he was training with?

It felt like the scorching heat was rushing out of the training room.

“It’s been a long time.”

“Ian.”

However, the cadet who was training was not a very welcome person. So, if you were to say that he was an unpleasant person, that wasn’t the case. If I had to define it, the more accurate description would be that it was just uncomfortable.

Ian Tigris Linebarrel is the playable character and main character of Tactical Combat.

He was the identity of the cadet who opened the door of the training room.

The last time Gilbert saw Ian properly was on the day of the competitive finals. That day, when he saw him riding the 2nd Infantry Tech, he boldly gave up on attracting him as his comrade. The potential he had was clearly a waste of money, but the disadvantages of riding the 2nd grade tech were enough to overshadow all of that potential.

Of course, it would have been a different story if he had played a prominent role in this attack on the academy, but we could only hear about the activities of people other than him. In the end, Gilbert tentatively concluded that he had no chance.

“You did a great job on this. As expected, you are a rival to this body.”

“…”

Here we go again. Regardless of whether there was a possibility or not, it was difficult for Gilbert, who had the sensibilities of a modern man, to endure Ian’s tone of voice in his second year of middle school. It felt as if his hand was being dried because the so-called saving throw was not possible.

The longer the conversation went on, the more terrible words he had to hear, so Gilbert quickly ended the conversation.

“It wasn’t a big deal. I wish you would have stayed away. Training time is late.”

“You were rude.”

When Ian, who was blocking the entrance to the training room, stepped aside, Gilbert hurried into the training room, thinking that he might catch him. Ian also didn’t hold the door as it closed, as if he didn’t have any intention of catching him.

But Ian watched the door of the training room where Gilbert entered in silence for a long time, wondering what he was thinking.

Are you experiencing any emotions?

Despite that, there was no shaking in the eyes inside.

How much time passes like that.

[Ian? I keep staring at the door. What’s going on?]

“No, nothing.”

Ian burst out laughing and headed to his room. As he realizes once again that he is the main character of the world anyway.
